Never knew I’d need to say goodbye…

Zephyr, still slightly groggy from sleep, was slow to react as he listened to his mate and daughter interact. Sometimes the way his life had turned out still surprised him, even now - how he and Caelum had been foolish enough to have yet another child at their age, and after all they had been through, was beyond him. In his old age though he was finding that he was enjoying the simple life they'd made; it was a welcome distraction from everything else that had happened in his life. He'd never even gotten around to properly telling Cae everything he'd done in their time apart - he wasn't even certain he'd ever properly apologized to her, nor had she, but pushing all that aside and focusing on the present seemed a more fitting route for the two of them. Life, after all, was short and could be taken from them at any moment; why dwell on the past when it could not be changed? He snorted loudly at Caelestis's realization, shaking his head. "Yeah right," came his easy retort, knowing fully well that her posture was far better than his. It felt like she was leagues ahead of them in plenty of other ways, he wasn't going to let his daughter be convinced she was taller now, too. Somehow, in the blink of an eye, she'd blossomed from an excitable, mischievous pup (that reminded him more of his younger self than he dared admit) into... well, an equally mischievous adult, but a full-grown one now. Their days of trying to control her were far beyond them and the truth was that both were too old to pretend otherwise now. "Wow, I get to make the plans for once?" Zeph commented gruffly, still attempting to shake away sleep. As he grew older, he realized he was less and less likely to push for things to go his way.. so long as his mate and daughter were happy, he was content. But now that he'd been given the cue to do as he pleased, he'd take full advantage of it. "Now that you mention it, I was wanting to explore the cliffs to the east of here. I'm sure Caelestis has been there a dozen times already. Maybe she could show us," he suggested, shooting his daughter a playfully accusing look. |
